He initially loved Paris, he succeeded in meeting all the writers he admired (Turgenev, Flaubert, Zola, Maupassant, Goncourt, and Daudet), and he witnessed the latest development in French painting, Impressionism. But James largely found the writers disappointing, and he completely misunderstood the paintings he saw. He also seems to have fallen in and out of love in a more ordinary sense - with a young Russian aesthete, Paul Zhukovsky. Disillusioned, James soon retreated to England - for good. But James would eventually be changed forever by his memories of Paris.
